I requested for a scripted and he was happy to do that. Here is what he gave me.
Hello Tom
As requested below is the script.
Also could you let me know when work will start on the other strips
And this is more of a side project than directly involved with helpineeda.com.
Warm regards
David
In grandmas home, will be in the living room so will have a sofa and picture frames in the background.
Dad "where should we go today" dad is looking happy
Lisa "I want to go home" lisa is looking grumpy
Dad "No were going out" Dad is looking frustrated.
Cut scene to the entrance of a beautiful looking forest.
Dad "alright which way should we go" dad is looking happy.
Lisa "umm that way" looking happy she points to the left.
This goes to a scene of a dark haunting forest, large trees twisted in to strange shapes, with even stranger leaves on their branches.Dad and lisa is running through this forest.
Lisa "Follow me daddy" she is smiling
Dad "OK" he is smiling
The next scene is from behind them and shows them peering through the trees and small bushes. Dad and Lisa are now holding hands. This scene is still quite dark but has a light shining in from the water.
Dad "You see the water"
Lisa "Yeah"
The last scene is bright (sunlight) with a sort of angelic glimmer to it. Dad and Lisa will be standing on top of a hill. Below them is clear water all around in the center there is a rocky island with some trees and bushes on it. Further over is the other side of the river bank which has large but nice looking trees.
Lisa "we made it"
Dad "yeah"
Lisa "its a beautiful world" singing.
The image than fades out with the singing.
I am happy now that I have a script. I feel the script is really good and tells me a lot more about the story, environment and atmosphere. This is a lot better for me because I can now use this to create all the scenes creatively. There was no problems about obtaining a script and it didn't take him long to produce it.
He also gave me the audio that will be used in the animated comic strip itself.
Originally I was going to create an animatic for the client to give to his producer for the music but it has been done the other way round now and he has sent me over the audio, I found this helpful because I am able to work with the music and I can create the scene and time the scenes right with the music so it can flow better.
I think the music will go very well with the animated comic strip. The audio has all the emotion that we want and creates the right atmosphere.
I really found my client really helpful, it actually feels like we are working together on this project, there was no problem with obtaining the script at all, he created no fuss and it didn't take him long to reply and give me the script either, I found this very helpful and efficient because I didn't have to wait and i could start thinking about my scenes and I am going to draw them. With the music I do feel that the client rush in with the music; it felt rushed but it was a good thing that this happened and I'm happy that I got the music first instead of me creating an animatic and then it not working with the audio itself.
